3. They want a 20th Century Fox redux.
Dang W.R. Hearst and Horace Greenley wannabes. Trying to re-create the country in their own image.

6. Progressives are outraged by anyone wanting to oppose those
specific items you listed - whether they are on the right or left.

I don't think you have to worry about DU'ers voting. We all have local people we are supporting (I wouldn't miss going to the polls to vote for White against Perry - so I will pull the all dem level and make it easy).

We aren't the ones you need to convince. All we do is remind you that it doesn't look too good with an economy still tanking and war still going on. People voted for Obama because they wanted him to fix those problems.

But, yeah, FOX news is crazy, no doubt about that.
